Activism Glamour founded the St. Louis-based Qu'art in 2014 to organize shows promoting diversity in the queer arts scene, citing PLUR (Peace Love Unity Respect) from the raver scene as an influence. Glamour is outspoken about the lack of Black performers at queer events in the St. Louis area, and has said, "If you're a producer and you're not putting Black people in your show, maybe you shouldn't be producing." To promote civic and political education, each Qu'art event includes a panel featuring community leaders, activists, and artists speaking about issues that affect queer lives. Glamour has also demonstrated in full drag, including in front of former mayor Lyda Krewson's home. Glamour created a petition calling for Krewson's resignation and in the Missouri House of Representatives when testifying against an anti-drag and anti-trans bill. Committeeperson Glamour is the first non-binary person to run for a committeeperson position in St. Louis. They won the election in 2024. However, as the state constitution prescribes only committeeman and committeewoman positions, Glamour was forced to label a binary gender identity on the ballot. Creating gender-neutral committeeperson positions would require a state constitutional amendment. ==References==
